The 69-year-old actress clearly looks fantastic, but when talking with Matt Lauer, Mirren said it was time for people to come up with a new word to describe her and others.

"I don't [like the word sexy], because I think it's totally overused and limiting," the Woman in Gold star said on the Today show Tuesday. "It limits human qualities into this very narrow, rather mundane… place."

She continued, "Human beings are so much more complex and interesting and deep and everything than that. I wish there was a better word than that to express something deeper and richer."

Some people might say that attitude is what makes Helen Mirren, well, not sexy. Definitely not sexy.

Snoop Dogg's senior high school yearbook photo has surfaced from 1989 and the rapper, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. , looks incredibly young and innocent. Not at all like the kind of guy who was selling weed to Cameron Diaz in between classes.

Snoop, now 43, went to Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California along with Diaz, 42, who remembers the upperclassman quite fondly.

"We went to high school together," the Sex Tape actress recalled on Lopez Tonight in 2011 . "He was a year older than me... I remember him, he was very tall and skinny. He wore lots of ponytails."

"I'm pretty sure I bought weed from him," Diaz, who has a medical marijuana card, continued. "I was green even in high school!"

Snoop is still green, too. Case in point? Just watch the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber Roast tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

According to Page Six's initial report, the pop star wanted Arquette thrown out of his Vegas party after he caught wind that David was “talking about Bieber behind his back.”

The source said: “Justin heard what David had been saying, and threw him out of his suite with the help of a friend, because they didn’t have security up there. Somehow David managed to get back in and rushed at Bieber to take him out. There was a confrontation, then other people got in the way to separate them. David was thrown out again, this time for good.”

While speaking to Stern on Monday, Arquette insisted, "I didn't get in a fight and thrown out."

What really went down was the Biebs had just thrown his birthday bash (following the taping of his Comedy Central roast in L.A.) at David's new club in Las Vegas, Heart of Omnia, at Caesars Palace. After the shindig, David got into an elevator thinking he was going to a friend's afterparty and when he got off, was asked to put his cell phone in a pillow case.

Days after the Grammy-winning singer denied she was dating the Rush Hour director, the longtime pals were spotted strolling arm in arm — along with another female friend — in the Caribbean.

Carey, who turned 45 on Friday, and Ratner, who turned 46 Saturday, threw a joint birthday celebration over the weekend in St. Barts. The lavish soiree took place on a yacht Sunday night.

The above photo has fueled speculation that Mariah and Brett are more than friends. They have been spotted together more frequently since the "You're Mine" singer split with Nick Cannon last year.

Earlier this month, Carey posted a shot of her and the filmmaker "hanging out in the girls room" together. A few weeks later, they were seen having dinner along with Courtney Love.

Brett and Mariah do have a long history… of working together professionally, that is. They have been close friends since 1998 when he directed her "I Still Believe" music video. Ratner went on to direct seven more for the singer. Over the years, romance rumors have popped up, and repeatedly have been shot down.

Taraji P. Henson has apologized to the Glendale Police Department in California for alleging that they racially profiled her son, Marcel, during a traffic stop.

"I would like to publicly apologize to the officer and the Glendale Police Department. A mother's job is not easy and neither is a police officer's. Sometimes as humans we overreact without gathering all the facts," the Empire star, 44, wrote in an Instagram post on Friday. "As a mother in this case, I overreacted and for that I apologize. Thank you to that officer for being kind to my son."

She hashtagged the message #TurningANegativeIntoAPositive #LoveTarajiPHenson.

However, the Los Angeles Timesobtained footage from the Oct. 18 stop in Glendale that tells a very different story. The police officer was seen driving in traffic when Marcel, 20, drove through a lighted crosswalk, failing to yield to a pedestrian. As the publication notes, his race was not apparent in the video as he was driving.

At the premiere of Lopez's movie Home (Casper worked as the official choreographer), Smart told E! he and J.Lo were just pals.

"We got a lot of ties. We're very close," Smart said about still spending time with his ex. "We're friends. We're very good friends."

Very good friends indeed.

The couple split back in May 2014, with sources saying at the time that the relationship "ran its course." There also were reports that Casper had been sending racy Instagram photos to someone else.

"I had to make a commitment to myself to be alone: No flirting. No possibility of anything. No boys in any way, shape or form. I said, 'I'm shutting it down,'" Lopez recently told Peopleof her mindset post-split. "I'd never been alone… I always found my comfort in another person."

Sorry, ladies… Zac Efron is definitely still taken. The Neighbors star has been happily off the market for several months now, and for the first time we are learning more about his girlfriend straight from Sami Miro herself.

The "vintage curator-marketing executive-model-lifestyle blogger" talked with Elle about her newfound fame, oh, and her hunky boyfriend.

Miro, a 27-year-old Santa Clara University grad with a master's degree in marketing from the University of San Francisco, met Efron through mutual friends while he was shooting We Are Friends .

"I've never spoken about us before, but, um, it's definitely different," she said of her relationship with the Hollywood star. When asked how she deals with the Internet's obsession with Efron, she replied, "I think that you have to take that [kind of attention] with a grain of salt, and put yourself in other people's positions. I think that's actually a really big part of it, putting yourself in their shoes, and trying to understand where they're coming from, and then it kinds of makes sense."

The latest male celeb at the center of the "are they or aren't they" whispers is Calvin Harris.

Days after Swift was spotted hanging in the DJ's private booth during his set in Las Vegas this past weekend, the duo met up once again.

Fans snapped a picture of Taylor, 24, and Harris, 31, together in Nashville, where they were sporting perfectly matching ensembles, mind you. Naturally, a few Swifties are even "shipping" these two as a couple already.

So is the dating speculation fair this time around?

We're leaning towards no. First of all, Harris is a sought after producer right now and we all know this has been the year of T.Swift. Plus, Taylor told the Telegraphshe has no room for a significant other.

Then again, whoever does land Taylor would have to be used to the craziness, and Calvin Harris would fit the bill… but we're still skeptical about this one. Are you?

On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Mad Men star recently completed a 30-day alcohol treatment program in Connecticut. "Life throws a lot at you sometimes, and you have to deal with it as much as you can," he told Australia's TV Weekon Wednesday. "I've been very fortunate that throughout the most recent 24-hour period, I've had a lot of family and friends support me."

Naturally, parallels have been drawn between Hamm and his character on the hit show, which is about to air its final season. He has played booze-loving Don Draper for eight years now, but the 44-year-old actor glossed over whether portraying that persona for so long partly caused the problems in his personal life.

Before news broke of Hamm's secret stint, his longtime partner, Jennifer Westfeldt, hinted to GQ tha portraying Don Draper may have taken a toll on the actor.
